A research team headed by surgical oncologist Dr. Shane Morita has found that the majority of Filipino thyroid cancer patients carry a genetic mutation that makes their disease worse than other ethnic groups. Morita performed a follow-up exam at the Queen's Medical Center's Cancer Center on Kanani Correa, who is recovering from thyroid cancer surgery.
